Terminator-assisted superplay (TAS) of Terminator 2: Judgment Day Arcade
What is a TAS? prog61
Goal:
-Complete the game with one credit
-Getting as little damage as possible (without taking weeks to optimize)
Notes:
-It's far from a perfect TAS.
-This is my first TAS of this game. I hadn't planned ahead. I only reacted to what was happening on the screen. Now that I see the final video, it's easy to spot things I could do better. It will be for next time.
-I lost a bit of energy here and there and more in battle with the T-1000. I think it's possible not to lose any, but it would be very hard for a human (but not for a terminator?).
-I didn't get 100% accuracy in the stats, I think sometimes enemies spawn near the edge of the screen and disappear quickly without giving you time to shoot them.
-But now seeing the finished video, I wonder why I let go of some of the robots in the 1st level.
-And keep in mind that it is the T-800 that plays. Since it only has a 6502 processor in its head (as in the Apple ][, as clearly shown in the first movie at 37:29) he doesn't have enough processing power to keep up with the game 😀😀😀
-The rng depends among other things on the position of the crosshair, so it is easy to abuse it in a TAS.
-I abuse it in the 'Trip to Skynet' section. I move the position of the crosshair before a flying enemy enters the screen until they don't shoot at me or the truck.
-But it's easy to make a mistake, I had to redo some parts 2-3 times because of me moving the crosshair too soon.
-I'm used to pointing at a target a few frames before it enters the screen, but if I did that in this game, the fact that I moved the crosshairs makes the enemy appear somewhere else. And sometimes I only see that when I replay the whole TAS, so I have to redo the last part that I did. Maybe there is also a small problem with the "save state".
-I was surprised to see that I hadn't shot enough things in Cyberdyne's office, I had the impression that we didn't have to shoot all the things but I was wrong. Now that I see the video, I can see what I didn't shoot. I should have used the shotgun more often at this point.
-But since it's the T-800 that plays, he largely preferred that Cyberdyne not be destroyed since without them he wouldn't exist. 😀
In the steel mill, punching a hole in the liquid nitrogen tank is sometimes difficult to do. Sometimes a shotgun blast does the trick, but other times you have to shoot 3 times. I do not know why.
-From the steel mill, I didn't try not to get hit, as long as I didn't die that was fine with me.
-The last battle with the T-1000 has 4 phases:
-To start you have to shoot him so that he falls on the bridge and disappears by liquefying
-2nd phase is when he is close to you, shoot his head until his head splits in two.
-3rd phase is to shoot him with the shogun to knock him back until he is about to fall into the molten steel
-get the grenade launcher that will fall from the far left or right of the screen, shoot it 2 times.
Maybe I should redo the 2nd part of the game from the desktop? You tell me.
It took about 30 hours of work to make this TAS. Thanks for watching.

Also, wow, the first boss goes down FAST with the plasma powerup
"Oh, just make your crosshairs instantly snap on to the bad guys as soon as they appear on screen, that'll do the trick."
"But I can't even move the gun that fast!"
"It should be possible, I seen it on a YouTube video once."
This game was bonkers in arcades. Glad I never invested enough quarters to grind out the win. This TAS will have to do.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day or T2 is a light gun shooter based on the film of the same name, produced by Midway Manufacturing Company as an arcade video game in 1991. Developed in tandem with the movie, several actors from the film reprise their roles for the game and are featured as part of the game's photorealistic digitized graphics. The game's plot largely follows that of the film, casting up to two players as the T-800 "terminator" cyborg from the film, sent back in time to protect John Connor from assassination by the T-1000 terminator. A success in arcades, home conversions of the game were released by Acclaim Entertainment for various platforms under the title of T2: The Arcade Game in order to avoid confusion with the numerous tie-in games also based on the movie.
